My cousin has just recieved hers. Has the reception problem from the link above lol :x currently trying to speak to various Customer services to see what the hells going on, but its basically un-usable when holding the phone anywhere but exceptional signal areas.
My 3GS is fine as well, I can't replicate the issues. It does not look like a software issue to me.
Ridiculous. Surely they would see these problems in testing..
Wow shes been busy testing already!

The problem is not with reception, but with the signal quality indicator in the software. People with the same software on 3G(S) models have reported the same issue, and also reported having no problems making calls when the signal quality is supposedly terrible.
It's been suggested that it's a problem with iOS4 as the problem also occurs with 3G/3GS handsets running the new software.
Orange think mine should be out on delivery today, latest tomorrow - happy with that
My 3GS 16gb is running iOS4 just fine, and with no such issues though.
Oh well, fingers' crossed.
Its not really testing lol. Just tried to make a call, and failed!
Dont think its software, my 3gs is fine with the os4, hers doesnt work properly. Go figure.
I can't replicate this with my 3GS.
EDIT: actually it does drop a bar or two, but you'd expect that. It doesn't drop anywhere near as much as the phone in the iPhone 4 video though (full bars to Searching...). All phones will suffer some loss of signal through a hand. I'll wait until some people I know to be non biased test the phone (ie. not people on forums
).
